Hail possible in southern Bexar County

Updated 7:35 am, Monday, February 11, 2013

Hail may fall south of the city today as isolated thunderstorms move through the area, forecasters said.

There is a 50 percent chance for rain in San Antonio today as moist air reaches the city from the southwest and combines with humidity from the Gulf of Mexico, said National Weather Service forecaster Eric Platt.

The hardest hit areas will be south of San Antonio, with some parts in southern Bexar County possibly getting up to 1/2 inch of rain and quarter-size hail.

As the rains subside on Tuesday, elevated fire conditions will be possible during the afternoon hours across the Edwards Plateau, with relative humidity likely dropping into the 15 to 20 percent range with winds of up to 15 mph.
